I am about to upgrade my MOBO and CPU to Z87 and i7-4770K, and thought reinstalling windows would be best. However, the version of Windows 8 I have was pre-installed on my primary HDD.
I want to keep the windows install on my old hard drive, plug in my new SSD and install Windows 8 on it after installing the new MOBO and CPU, and then plug in the old HDD and transfer any data I want to keep onto the SSD, before wiping it and using it for storage. How do I do this without having to spend $150 on a new Windows 8 OEM Disk?
